Delicious! I had the Jalepeno Popper sandwich with sweet potato fries, and my wife had the BYO Burger with chips. The chips and fries were cooked perfectly, and tasted great dipping in the aioli and ranch dressings. The buns often make the sandwich, and this was no exception, but the meats were also well prepared and tasty. Glad we finally made the trip! Also stopped next door at Local Pig and bought a few items to take home.
This was the jalapeño popper sandwich. With every savory bite, you can’t stop eating it. It was a very clean restaurant with outside tables. The fries are amazing. The ranch isn’t my typical favorite, but the garlic mayo was on point! Definitely will be back!
Fantastic food, Service was good, they were so busy all tables were full, and we had to stand and wait for a table to open up. It's a very small seating area and with all the people jammed in there it was very loud. After all this is said I WILL absolutely go back, the food is that good, and they can't possibly be that busy all the time.
Great food, good prices, no complaints here! I also appreciate their use of compostable and plastic-free consumables such as lids and straws. 5/5 will be back!
Good prices. Good food. Quick service. Good ambiance. The Banh Mi sandwich was incredible. I didn’t care for the pulled pork sandwich. Too much going on for me. The melted cheese was weird. But that Banh Mi. Dang!
We are traveling with Diamonds Tours and stopped to have lunch at Pigwich! The food was AMAZING, the service was fast. Very clean and nice staff. Highly recommend!!!
We ate lunch here yesterday while visiting the market. The weather was perfect so we sat outside with our small dog in her stroller. Food was delicious! We weren't expecting the sandwiches to be as large as they were so we were very well fed. Would definitely eat here again!
Great sandwich shop next to great butcher shop. I highly recommend this place. I have liked everything I’ve gotten there and the fries have gotten better. Everything is recyclable so very environmentally friendly. I got the Philly cheesesteak and fries and they were very tasty.
Excellent shop at the city market. We placed our order and then waited. Food was served quickly. I ordered the mixed plate hoagie, it came with pork brisket and jalapeño sausage and fried crispy onion, with a side order of their house made potato chips. If I lived in KC I would go there for lunch every chance I got. That was the best sandwich and chips I have had in a while. Extremely flavorful. My girlfriend got the pork banh mi. Which was also very good.
There is a huge indoor and outdoor dining area so we do not have to worry about not getting any table. The line was long for the food. We ordered pull pork and pork brisket sandwich and they tasted amazing.
